What makes Squirtle valuable
- As a Water-type Pokémon card, Squirtle is sought by players and collectors alike.

- Artwork by Yuka Morii is a factor for collectors who follow specific illustrators.

- Centring and surface condition matter most on Common cards; a clean copy of Squirtle can realise well above the $299.99 low end.
- Track the Cardmarket 7- and 30-day averages (when available) to time entries and exits.
- For Squirtle, confirm the exact print variant before buying: Reverse Holofoil, Normal prices differ, and listings often mix them.
